<h2>Upgrade</h2>
<p>Upgrading to the latest version of Pixelpost is now smooth and easy with the new install assistant. It is self-explanatory and is done within one minute.<br />It works with all Pixelpost installations, no matter which version you are using. 
</p>
<p class='vspace'>Thanks to our team member Dave for all of his great work on this! (Sorry, but this must be said)
</p>
<div class='vspace'></div><h2>How do I Upgrade?</h2>
<ol><li>First, make a backup of your actual Pixelpost installation:
<ul><li>download all the files on your server and store them in a cool and dry place.
</li><li>go into your MySQL Administration, locate your Pixelpost tables and find the button "export".<br /><a target='_blank'  class='urllink' href='http://www.pixelpost.org/docs/uploads/GettingStarted17/mysqladmin.gif' rel='nofollow'><img width='100px' src='http://www.pixelpost.org/docs/uploads/GettingStarted17/mysqladmin_th.gif' alt='MySqlAdmin' title='MySqlAdmin' /></a> &lt;- See the screenshot for the recommended settings and save the sql file.
</li></ul></li><li>Download Pixelpost by clicking on the "Download" link located on our home page.
</li><li>Unzip the Pixelpost package and upload it to your server.
<ul><li><strong>Don't delete the old Pixelpost files, just overwrite them.</strong> 
</li><li>Make sure that the file pixelpost.php is still within the includes folder and the correct database login is there.
</li><li><strong>Open the addons folder and delete the following Addon files in the root addons folder:</strong>
<ul><li>admin_akismet_comment.php
</li><li>front_akismet_comment.php<br /><strong>(they moved to the addons/_akismet folder where they must not be deleted!)</strong>
</li><li>referer_spam.php<br />(this isn't used anymore)
</li></ul></li></ul></li><li>Open your browser and go to the following address:<br /><strong>www.yourdomain.com/(photoblog_foldername)/admin/install.php</strong><br /><span  style='color: #aaaaaa;'><strong><em>Tip:</strong> If you see the "Installation" screen instead of the "Upgrade" screen, the configuration file <strong>pixelpost.php</strong> may have been damaged or removed. Get it from your files backup, check the database login and re-upload it into the "includes" folder.</em></span>
</li><li>Follow the instructions provided on screen and enjoy photoblogging with Pixelpost!
</li></ol><div class='vspace'></div><h2>Screenshots</h2>

<p>If you are using third party addons on your Pixelpost installation, they are turned off by default because we can not guarantee that they will work properly with the latest version.<br />Go to your Admin Panel and turn them on one by one, checking if everything works ok.
